HodgePodge Crochet is Now on Patreon

After a lot of thought, I’ve officially launched a Patreon for HodgePodge Crochet.

If you’ve been following along for a while, you already know that I’m constantly working on new designs, testing ideas, and refining patterns. I may not release patterns every week, but there is always something in progress behind the scenes. Patreon gives me a place to share more of that process and offer a more organized way for those who want to be more involved.

This space is designed to be simple, consistent, and actually useful—not overwhelming.

There are two tiers available.

The first tier, Studio Access, is for those who want a closer look behind the scenes. You’ll get early access to tester calls before they’re posted publicly, along with updates on what I’m working on, yarn choices, and sneak peeks of upcoming designs.

The second tier, Pattern Club, includes everything in the first tier plus one pattern per month as a downloadable PDF. You’ll also get early access to patterns before they’re released publicly, priority consideration for tester selection, and access to a monthly live session where we can go over crochet questions, pattern help, or current projects.

One thing that’s important to know is that Patreon is where I can share more of my way of thinking and show my process along the way.

If you’ve ever wanted earlier access to patterns, a more direct connection to my work, or a place where everything is a little more organized, this is for you.

Thank you for continuing to support HodgePodge Crochet. It truly means a lot and allows me to keep creating and sharing new designs.

I knitted a pair of armwarmers!

I did those at record speed. Usually I need 2 weeks for those, but I did this set in 5 days

I used Colour Crafter from Scheepjes

I have almost finished a #Knitting a thing and to encourage myself to finish it I've bought some ~PINS OF DOOM~.

Seriously, there were about ten:

"THESE PINS ARE INCREDIBLY SHARP.
DO NOT STAB YOURSELF OR ALLOW CHILDREN OR PETS TO STAB THEMSELVES" -

Warnings on the packaging and the box AND the instructions sheet.

I'm at knit camp. This is a knitting retreat I organize, intended to be inexpensive ($200 for the weekend including all meals, vs like $1200 you'd pay at other retreats). So we're inhabiting a dorm at a former college turned event venue/restaurant/retreat venue. The food was really good, and served in the former dining hall as a buffet. It was, hands down, the best buffet food I've ever had. Right now I'm in my room, which is a former dorm room. Two twin beds, but at least I don't have a roommate (I could do, I just didn't want one). The bathroom a bit down the hall. The other folks at the knitting retreat are hanging out in the lounge in the center of the dorm and their talking is echoing down the hall (it's not even 10 yet, I'm just tired).

This is just a delight. It's like the good bits of dorm life but none or few of the bad bits. Though I do have to schlep outside to get to the dining hall, at least it's a short walk away.

This is a good place to forget about the world for a little while. And I'mma work so hard on the hat I'm making tomorrow.

Right this moment, life is good.
